Man City star 'tells agent to find him new club' and other transfer rumours

Manchester City centre-back Aymeric Laporte has reportedly told his agent to find him a new club.

Laporte's game time has been reduced this season as the likes of Nathan Ake, Ruben Dias and Manuel Akanji have all impressed. The 28-year-old has played in just three Premier League games since the end of February and has struggled to break into the Blues' backline.

Despite starting against Leeds United on Saturday, Football Insider report Laporte wants out of the club and is searching for regular football elsewhere.

Pep Guardiola has never stood in the way of any player who wishes to leave City. In January, the Blues allowed Joao Cancelo to depart on loan so he could search for regular minutes with Bayern Munich.

Elsewhere, Guardiola is believed to be ready to make a move for Atletico Madrid right-back Nahuel Molina. According to Fichajes, Molina has undergone an 'incredible change' since winning the World Cup with Argentina.

Not only has this helped him keep his place in Diego Simeone's side, it's also reportedly seen City take an interest in the star. Guardiola is said to believe Molina is an 'ideal player' to provide competition for his defenders.

Should they wish to complete the move for the 25-year-old, they will need to spend big. Molina's contract runs until 2027 and Atletico would not be willing to part with him for less than €60m.
